The Eel Life

I just finished these paintings for the "Just Because" show at the C.A.V.E. Gallery.
They are pretty small. You can't tell by the scan so much, but there's a lot of metalics in the portrait. I guess you will have to see them in person to get the full effect!

She Skull #1 Preview

Here's a page from my new comic zine, She Skull Skeleton Warrior #1!

Somewhere in middle of the ocean there is a mysterious jungle island filled with strange creatures in constant conflict. It is up to one enchanted skeleton warrior to maintain the balance of this delicate ecosystem. She protects the fuzzy innocent and extinguishes evil monsters!
Is she Demon? Magical spirit? High functioning zombie? Decide for yourself in the first collection of She Skull Skeleton Warrior stories from Sara Antoinette Martin.

Each one is editioned out of 100 and stamped on the back. Yup I only printed 100. Here are a couple more panels:

Poster Design / Call to Entry!

Not only did I make this poster, I'm also a co-organizer! This is going to be a really fun event.

The Gowanus Studio Space Jell-O Mold Competition
CAll TO ENTRY
Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 6-10pm
Register by June 12, 2009 to compete

Jell-O is the perfect medium for design in these times of restraint given its versatility, economy, and availability. This is why it’s time for a comeback of the Jell-O proportions of old: soaring heights, strange colors, object suspension!
The Gowanus Studio Space’s Jell-O Mold Competition will pit designers against each other in an effort to make the Jell-O mold cool again. Competitors will battle it out for mold supremacy in the following categories:
- Creativity
- Aesthetics
- Structural/sculptural ingenuity
- Edibility/culinary appeal
- Best use and showcase of Jell-O
A crack panel of respected judges will announce the winners at 8pm on the day of the event. The judging and awards ceremony will be held at the Gowanus Studio Space in Brooklyn.
The event is open to the public so even if you don’t compete you can come check out the action! Kelso beer and Jell-O shots will be served.

We are also running a vacum form workshop so you can build your very own mold.

New Illustration!

New illustration in this months LI Pulse! Ink and digital color. There are two versions.

My painting for GAG ME WITH A TOON

Shipping out this hotness tomorrow. Its my take on rainbow brite. Trying to think of a good name.... Can you tell who was my reference photo?

Gag Me With a Toon!

Heres some more info for Gag Me with a Toon: GAG ME WITH A TOON 2: HARDER! FASTER! RADDER!
GAG ME WITH A TOON, not the mold, but the twin!
It’s the second go-round for this glorious show in which pop cartoon art is all that we know.
The original rocked but what shall we do it’s time to install what we call GAG TWO?
How is it HARDER? Because of the people whom we have corralled under our ink-stained steeple.
These artists are strong and accepted the task of eclipsing what we have recently passed!
How is it FASTER? We tempted the fates and shortened the time in-between GAG ME dates!
How is it RADDER? Is that even a word? I’ll leave that to Webster and remain undeterred to exhort you and your cronies to meet in the rear of the place we call Meltdown in the fifth month of the year where we shall show you dangers and demons, cereal mascots and spinach-filled sea men, double the lions that form into knights, brilliant blue dwarves and robotic lights.
We’ve multiplied madness and aggrandized our art, now it is up to you to come do your part!
Drink with two fists and view with two eyes this wonderful show that is littered with lies.
But this is line is truth, lest I burn in the fire; within these walls you’ll find much to admire.
GAG ME WITH A TOON NUMBER TWO is the name!
Don’t hate on this sequel. It’s not more of the same.

GAG ME WITH A TOON 2: HARDER! FASTER! RADDER!
